Forbidden City Hall Closed For Repair

BEIJING, CHINA - JUNE 9: (CHINA OUT) Visitors walk in front of a giant picture of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, painted on scaffolding surrounding the actual structure at the centre of the Forbidden City on June 9, 2006 in Beijing, China. Repairs on the Hall of Supreme Harmony (Taihedian in Chinese) in the Forbidden City began in January. They are expected to be completed by 2008, in time for the Beijing Olympic Games. As the symbol of imperial power, the hall was where Ming and Qing (1368-1911) emperors received high officials and exercised their rule over the nation. (Photo by China Photos/Getty Images)
